"WNBA Chicago Sky vs Las Vegas Aces Full Game - 4th QTR | Sep 3, 2024 | Women's Basketball"

see and that's been the the question mark for this team that the team hasn't had that consistency to go with her and they're starting to slowly get to it as Turner was falling to the floor and Asia was trying to help her not hit too hard and in the meanwhile cardoso comes in and gets the first bucket I tell you if haer Wilson had not been playing the way she was the aces would not be yeah in the playoff position that they are right now she's at least kept them in the conversation for a potential to try to threee I completely agree with you and that's the kind of effort she is having a good time as she kept that Miss shot alive and then sticks it got the shooters touch Sydney Coulson was talking about playing with that Joy I think Asia Wilson is starting to find that joy as well in the latter part of this season yeah I think she is I think because her team is coming along with her as on that's a big one there behind the arc the fifth three of game for Chicago and if Chicago can put a couple of back-to- back stops together yeah they could get right back in this thing definely a 14-point game oh cardoso the SWAT oh but the defense getting back and Asia Wilson cherry picking at the other end and the recognition Jackie young finding her but that was the defense with with the steel making that happen you know who's having a fit at home right now yep Don St Don Staley because Asia got a block on cam and had a video of Don pitching a fish now when Camila goes at Asia what's do got to say oh I'll tell you what the South Carolina Gamecocks make their Mark in this league there's no doubt oh we got Tiffany Mitchell Aaliyah Boston yeah fun are they right nowt har is at Pho yep Ty Harris I mean you could just go next South Carolina players you got it right that one wouldn't dropped for graya gray in Atlanta and Laticia me here oh yeah oh and now high to low cardo so this is an excellent start to this quarter pretty stroke in the high post though for Asia Wilson 21 for her she's had her 21st double double on the season ree has a double double as well to her 25th of the Season what a rookie year she's having she has had a phenomenal year and a team that has got where winning hasn't come easy yep and she's still been able to put up great numbers 25 double W's that's a WNBA rookie record for ree everybody wants to get the conversation of in the year the thing that I applaud is Caitlyn Clark Camila cardoso Angel ree Ria Jackson This rookie class has come in and made their presence felt there's so much hype on that entire group coming in right and so I think they've really produced I think they've shown what they've been able to do just imagine if Cam Brink had gotten hurt at La No Doubt was already playing so well she'll come back even better but yeah that was so devastating fou call on the shields her third and the team's first six and a half remaining this Aces team's going to hit the road they're going to head to Connecticut they're going to head to New York as you see Reese getting a breather and then like you talked about going to Indiana yeah two games at Indiana before they get to make their way back to Las Vegas and there's active Hands by Dana Evans she gets the steal Jackie young gets back and the SWAT and the foul nothing easy she'll pick up the personal [Applause] though that'll be her second and the team's first Dana Evans to the line I think that Becky Hammond wanted to possibly get Asia Wilson some rest this game but with just a 14-point lead it's hard for a coach yeah I think that Asia Wilson is your security blanket everybody just feels better when Asia Wilson is on the floor just snuggle right in with her free throws good for Dana Evans it's a 12-point game and especially with now reys back on and cardoso she started Asia this fourth sometimes she doesn't start her in the fourth so she didn't get her rest there can she get some rest later Chicago this is look this is go time if they're going to make a run oh an hand one an aggressive drive by Megan guson on Angel re gson off the marker on the free throw though she has eight points got the start tonight and there's some defense AC Hands by Tiffany Hayes love it oh and she was out running Kate Martin so close to getting it to her and all Hammond could do is grab her forehead she's like when we force he she said that when they force turnovers she wants them to convert on the other end she's still drawing it out to their assistance right now you can see Natalie nass and Tyler Marsh there taking it in be with such a great point guard like she knew how to deliver the ball in the right position at the right time shields in the paint can't get it cardoso on the inside she tips it out and Megan guson says off her will take it 518 remaining in the game Chicago will head back home as they've been on the road they're going to have La Dallas and Washington three in a row in Chicago Hayes gets fed by the shields it's going to be the fourth on the Shields and the teams [Applause] for with a player like Tiffany Hayes You've got to make a plan of if you allow her to catch it where you want her to go when you let her catch it and then she has you at her mercy and you're going to react you're going to lose that battle she's just so quick she's such a deceptive player with the quickness cuz she's got this length about her and you just think she's not going to be as quick as she is before is she is the defender coming out on Asia Wilson long down and Kate Martin's going to get whistled for the reach in Asia Wilson says my bad she had a good [Applause] [Music] look second team foul on Las Vegas just the first on Kate Martin K Martin battling with on way Dana Evans from the three she's been huge Off the Bench 10 points two of four behind the arc 11o game for Las Vegas up by 19 at one time it has a little bit of a vibe that the one did last Sunday in Chicago yeah you there's no Kennedy Carter but right now making buckets aent Wilson needed to hit that one sure did 23 for Wilson four minutes left Evans using the high screen backto back buckets for Dana Evans she's got the hot hand three of five behind the arc Kate Martin trying to get rid of sta Evans oh Wilson lost cardoso momentarily and cardoso almost able to catch up with the block instead but personal it'll be her fifth how dangerous angel or AA Wilson has become with her ability to create off the bounds it it stands out more than almost anything on her offense with her offensive play this year the work that she's put in with her ball handling has really been something and Becky describes how she applies what she works on in practice and it carries over in a game that sometimes players work on things in practice but it doesn't translate they don't use it they're not as comfortable in getting into their bag when it comes game time Asia Wilson is yeah but she is so purposeful in every single thing that she does when she's training 25 points 13 rebounds and perfect six of six from the free throw line braia Wilson and now an offensive foul call cut by Hayes Gray the defender give her the assist she finds Asia Wilson on the [Applause] wing Chelsea grayes had an impressive game seven assists can make it eight now after that one and 13 points three steals also for [Music] gray and guson had a little bit of a body bump and just couldn't stop herself she's frustrated I mean her season this year has been just incredible yeah just her consistency hard work that she's put in paying off Jackie young was oh oh for a moment Jackie had a a layup and instead on W getting back on points a game and 13 rebounds as well as said three steals three assists and two steals [Applause] she's got to be there's another steal she's going to bring it on up Chelsea Gray on the slash oh she knows she should have had that one yeah Miss layups just under two minutes remaining looks like the aces are going to be able to hold on and finish strong on the home court as Reese on the attack will go to the line trying to string together a win streak this would be three in a row for them and Chicago didn't make it easy hasn't made it a clean game for the aces necessarily but I'd say Becky Hammond's going to be able to find some good things out of this one well the offense getting back to their average they're averaging leading the lead with 87 points a game already 84 right now with a little over a minute and a half to go able to get it done without Kelsey plum in this one that's a positive anytime one of your starters is out and you're able to still take control that is a good thing is Chicago and Drive by Hayes she just keeps on 17 for Tiffany Hayes getting the start tonight fourth on the year I love how explosive she is with the basketball every cut she makes is with a purpose but a nice addition this year for the aces picked up the end of May Asia Wilson will bring it up and work some clock Becky Hammond's going to go to the bench if there's a stoppage Tiff hay will take a three as she sees the reserves go to the table TI hay said well I might as well get my little bit in while I can I might as well get another one 20 points for Tiffany Hayes three of five behind the arc under a minute left I think she's going to pull everybody back at this point doesn't look like they're going to have a stop Point rounding out the Miss there eighth time this season Asia has gotten 30 points and 10 rebounds or more that one for Evans rattles out Harrison the clean up Isabel Harrison's been good Off the Bench eight points just too much from the aces inside outside and they got out running a bit more that's something they've been looking to do they wanted to control the pace green Eggo not going to get not going to get some time yet but I think the key thing when the aces are playing a team like Chicago you know that you've got to try to win that rebound battle they did exactly that they were efficient with their scoring shooting 52% AER Wilson was just another day at the office but Tiffany Hayes filling in in that starting roll for Kelsey Plum huge with her 20 points tonight and Megan gipson the start tonight also Carolyn eight points for her as well as three reads also to try to help a and the the interior play of the Aces and there are the two friends former teammates tpoon and Becky Hammond they have so much respect for one another they are so thrilled for one another to be coaching in a league that they help to grow and get to this point she's like a little sister to teaspoon as long as Becky listened to her to get rid of the banks exactly right and she's she's not never brought them back I don't think so yeah you got to have friends like that you got to have friends like that and there's Alicia Clark we're thinking about
